I have been reading an excellent article in the MUFON Journal for October 2008, by Dr Robert M Wood. In it he revealed for the first time the full details of UFO research conducted by the McDonnell Douglas aviation company between 1966 and 1970.

In a diary entry dated 17 May 1965 (page 135) Vallee wrote "There are rumours that many aerospace companies are conducting their own secret study of UFOs." He then related an incident where a Martin Marietta engineer visited him to discuss UFOs.

In volume 2 of "Forbidden Science" page 277, an entry dated 10 Dec 1974 read "Kit reluctantly confirmed there was a group of 15 engineers in the midwest (I assumed it was McDonnell in St Louis) secretly doing UFO research for CIA under cover of "aeronautical research.

Have readers come across other references to US or other aerospace companies conducting their own research? If so, I'd like to hear from you, as I am researching a blog post on this topic.
